Susan, I’ve been following you since Fifty Not Frumpy and love and appreciate all you and Mr Mickey share I’ve been battling some sort of autoimmune problem for years and am about to have MRI of brain. I desperately want to learn to Eat To Live as you have. I’m married but husband doesn’t comply with his own diabetic diet and our adult daughter and grand baby are living with us. I’m retiring early on 4/30 at age 55 because I can’t tolerate working any longer. I was diagnosed in 1999 Fibromyalgia and now possibly MS. I want to focus on my health at retirement to hopefully get stronger and able to return to part time work. I’m wondering if you would post more/ current how you “transformed”? You’re an inspiration especially because I don’t have very supportive people around. Thanks so much!

Eat food as close to the way it grew in the ground as you possibly can. Do not ever eat fast food or packaged convenience foods or snacks. Avoid beef, pork, and all processed meats. Eat beans, greens, grains, seeds, nuts, vegetables, and fruit in small quantities. Drink only filtered water. Walk and move around as much as you can during the day. Go to bed at the same time and rise at about the same time each day. (This is my lifestyle in a nutshell.) I hope you have success in your pursuit of better health. Best to you, Susan

Susan, Thank you for being the bright spot in my email in box! You always offer usable information and beautiful photos. I appreciate your disclosure and judicial use of advertising in your blog. You are successfully maintaining your “brand” by doing so. Its disappointing when a blog turns into just one more piece of advertisement.
I have a difficult shape (ie: short waisted, long legs and arms, and hips that are fuller immediately below the waist). So I need to camouflage the short torso and high hip issue when I dress myself. Never able to find an of the rack dress, never a belted waist. I dress in separates always. I’m 5′ 4″, 135 pounds and 68 yo. I would appreciate additional ideas for dressing my specific issues. Thank you Susan and Mr Mickey.

I have the same short waist, high hip situation! I never fully tuck in a shirt. I also never show more than the bottom half of my behind. We might think the answer is to cover up with oversized or long clothes, but that always makes me look larger than I am. Now that I wear more low heeled shoes, I am still re-evaluating what I can and cannot wear.

Susan, your website is great! I have shared it with friends and we all love it. I especially like when you show outfits and compare which is better, like the recent utility jacket. You are very informative, clear, and offer valuable tips for consideration – whether shopping or evaluating what to keep in my closet. Right now, I am debating about shrugs! What are your thoughts?
Thanks,
Lois

I also wear jeans and a tee often. I pair the look with slingbacks or nude loafers and carry a structured bag. The accessories can elevate basics and make them appropriate for most occasions. The fit is essential. Look for jeans that fit without being too tight and tees with feminine details like a V-neckline. Stay away from faded or torn jeans and tees with logos or designs.

Hi Sonia Rosario here, saw your pins on pinterest and I like what I see. You do a great job putting fashion things together and I’m looking forward to seeing more. At 55 I have a pretty good idea about fashion but I always appreciate more help and for that I say thank you.
Keep up the good work!

Is there a shampoo that you like for grey hair? My hair is pretty much all white except the very low hair which is a bit darker. I bleached it the lightest color so I could see how much grey I have. I will just cut all my hair off in a few months. I am used to a very short pixie in the past so that will work the best for me. Any other ideas??

Hi Joan,
I use a purple shampoo for blonde hair (Cool Blonde Shampoo Color Solutions by Ion) and mix it with my Beautycounter shampoo a couple of times a week. It tends to dry out my hair, so I don’t use it more often but, it does cut the yellowing.
My face shape requires more length, but I would love to have a pixie cut. So easy!

I love seeing you show brown colors. And warm accessories. I have similar brown core pieces or I would have added yours. Thanks for all the tips! I live in cold Michigan so am gearing up with down vests, etc.

I’ve just turned 60. Your blog has given me so much hope, I have always cared about my appearance, but not ready to look like an old lady. You have shown me I can still be classy & attractive at this age. Just ordered my first pair of pants from your shop, can’t wait to get them! Keep inspiring all us women who still want to be beautiful! WISH Pinterest would only do your current post.

Love your blog. Love your sense of style! You truly inspire me to dress my best! I look forward to finding your posts in my inbox ! (And) I can usually find pieces similar to what you wear already in my closet! #FreshIdeas

You take ‘Ho hum style’ to ‘Wowza! We certainly do not need to sacrific style as we mature a bit! #BetterThanEver

I would wear something that makes me feel confident with comfortable wedge heeled shoes so that they don’t sink into the dirt. What time of day and what time of year is the wedding? Those answers will determine the type of clothing that will be appropriate.

I like your style which is actually very similar to mine. We even have a similar hairstyle but at nearly 65 I am yet to give up being a blonde. I am not sure how tall you are but slim pants with looser shirts and tops are very flattering and disguise the thicker middle which most of us seem to end up with. I also have a biggish bust and find I need to up size to prevent the gape which is annoying. I have recently lost some weight ( about 8kg ) and this winter I have just about lived in a short bikey style fake leather tan jacket worn with slim pants and boots. I do find I end up with a favourite outfit and just about wear it to death even tboygh I have a reasonable sized wardrobe which is regularly culled. I normally wouldn’t have worn a short jacket but this one is quite flattering. I live in New Zealand so our seasons are apposing and I can’t purchase the same clothes but can certainly follow your style and suggestions. The only thing I am not keen on are the bootie style of shoe that you like. I mostly wear flats including boots. I am lucky to have slim ankles and calves and suit a variety of shoe styles but find heels are no longer comfortable if I wear them for any length of time.
Regards
Linda

Hi Susan…my daughter is an employee at Chico’s. .She had an event and asked me to model. .Susan, I had a great time. I too brought alone my own footwear and wow..perfect for the two outfits she picked for me..The Leopard print SKIRT SOLD..I even assisted shoppers and contributed to four sales…I was invited to participate again..Susan, I think I will..Talking to the clients were so much fun..I too LOVE clothes..I would love to send u a picture of the clothing I modeled. .

Susan, you are one of the fashion bloggers I consistently follow because you’re a tad over 60, like me, and don’t subscribe to every trendy fashion whim that comes gusting along. Your taste is similar to mine, and I often receive compliments on the way I dress because, like you, it’s age appropriate, stylish, a nod to a passing trend, if appropriate, & thoughtfully accessorized.
I loved the vlog you did with Ellie! I wish you would consider doing more along those lines. Makeovers for “real” everyday women we see in ordinary life. Perhaps pulling existing items from their closet, showing ways they can be accessorized, worn in a new, fresh way, or even adding new pieces, which you could detail in links below, i,e., black pants from Nordstrom, jacket from Talbots, etc. So your readers could shop along! I’d also love a vlog, accenting different body types & what looks good on them, using real, everyday women 60 & over & making your wonderful suggestions.
Jan Stevens, Cookeville, TN

Just wanted to say thank you, Susan. I have followed several of your tips. It’s so nice to have someone helping us “over 60” gals. It’s difficult to be over 60 and not be frumpy–especially when today’s fashion caters to youth.

Susan, thank you for sharing the pictures of you in the Navy, and for serving our Country. Just as beautiful today as you were then. Thank you for your suggestions – I have the crepe pants and tops in every color. Just sorry I can’t wear them in the winter in the Philadelphia area. I travel for work and they look great with jackets, scarves and ballet flats. I would like more ideas from you for clothes to wear to work in the winter in the Northeast.

Susan, I normally do not write to blogs, but I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate your articles and look forward to them each week. I am 10 years your senior but find the ideas you bring forth can be applied to myself. I had been looking for some time to find ideas on how to keep my appearance up to date. Most of the articles in magazines were not appropriate to my age level and I do like a ‘classic’ look with quality that can last for several years.

Even though you are retiring from your business, I hope you will continue the blogs. I have enjoyed them and they are most helpful. I too have had to give up high heels, much to my sadness, and have been interested in seeing how you are dealing with the issue. As I age I have noticed that my figure is becoming more of a rectangle and my narrow waist is long gone. If you are ever able to deal with this issue it would be greatly appreciated. I have noticed among my friends that I am not alone in this issue.

You have been such an inspiration over the last few years! I retired this year to sunny California from NY. Talk about wardrobe weeding! I refer back to your past posts to motivate and help me during the process. It will take me a year for sure as I experience the weather and lifestyle changes but using your advice I go to my closet before I head out to purchase anything new for an event. Thank you!

Hi Susan, The closet tour is one of my favorites. I have been following your blog for a few years now, and I always enjoy your helpful thoughts and photos. While your colors and mine are totally different, I have learned to substitute and use what works best for me. Im 75 and love just being basic with a touch of pizzaz now and then. Im a traditional gal. I cant wait to start on my closet this morning, and use your great tips! We are never too old to enjoy and change our fashion.

Could you please address the issue of pant length some time? I am 5 feet tall and bootcut styling is my favorite (because the line is continuous if shoes match) but I feel the look is dated. Searching through your posts, I find that you note ankle length pants are cooler in summer. Would you recommend ankle length in winter? Like you, only very small heels, for very infrequent and limited use, work. I almost always wear flats. My needs are primarily casual, With retirement, I seldom dress up. Thanks.

Wow I’ve just found your website through Pinterest. I am so pleased to see someone showing fashion for the older lady. My sister and I are both in our 50’s I’m am in my late 50’s and we find it so hard to look fashionable without looking like we are trying to be 20/30 years old, neither of us are model height or size and it is refreshing to see what you are doing, you are an inspiration and look so glamorous yet real.

I in no way claim to be a *fashionista*, but am interested in improving the way I can put some basic, favorite pieces together in interesting ways.
A friend shared your blog site with me and I truly enjoyed it ~ enough that I am subscribing. Susan, you are a beautiful woman and from your video and speaking, I sense a very sincere, delightful personality with a serious understanding and joy of all you have done & are doing.
Thank You.
L.S.

Hi Susan,
I so enjoy sharing in your creativity. You’re style is classy, sassy, tasteful and appropriate. You are teaching many of us how to appreciate ourselves and this wonderful era of our lives. I, as well, am blest with a ‘Mr. Mickey’ in my life–and you are right–the next 50 are the best ever if we honor, enjoy and appreciate every moment we have.
Thank you for sharing your fun and uplifting life.
Best,
Sue

Susan, I have heavy calves and have trouble finding pants and/or jeans that don’t cling and accentuate my lower legs. Do you have any suggestions for me?
I so enjoy receiving your e mails and your comments on facebook.
It seems that all of the clothing companies are only making skinned jeans, jogging S and leggings now.
Lelah Castell

My calves are almost thicker than my thighs, so I know what you mean. I look for a slight boot cut or straight leg jeans. My favorite companies are Liverpool Jeans Co. and Chico’s. J.Jill has great jeans too.

Hi Susan, I just got done “binge watching” all your years of Fifty not Frumpy and Susan After 60 and I thoroughly enjoyed it! What an amazing life you’ve had and continue to have. I enjoyed your and Mr. Mickey’s travels the most, I think you should have a travel blog instead of fashion. The photos and descriptions of your visits have made me want to explore the areas so I’m taking notes! I know you’ve said you don’t wear heels much any more but I had a nagging question going through Fifty not Frumpy, how in the world did you keep your heels from getting ruined walking on all those sidewalks, cobblestones and dirt paths? I have a hard time not nicking up heels just wearing them for an evening!

My clothing line is being discontinued, but you can find what remains, as well as scarves and a few like new items from my own wardrobe here. I always include links to what I am wearing (or something similar) in the blog posts.

Hi Susan, I recently had knee replacement surgery and stumbled onto your YouTube page. I have enjoyed your videos, and was wondering if your suggested styles work for all sizes? I currently wear a 16 and most of the straight legged jeans that look wonderful on you would be way to tight on my calf… Now with the surgery my wardrobe is a bit more limited to yoga pants and tees. Any suggestions for us bigger gals. I’m 52 and am just starting to build a nicer wardrobe.
Thanks, Debra from Canada

My concept of incorporating basic pieces in neutral colors would work for anyone of any size or age. I encourage people to learn what suits your shape and lifestyle to know which shape those basics should be. If you own a basic top, bottom and a third piece (jacket, cardigan, vest or duster) you can not only create outfits using just those pieces, you can substitute any of the items you already own to create outfits that are flattering to you in minutes.

I enjoy reading your email and utube videos. I am thrilled to finally find a site where the fashion advise is geared for older women. Your style advice is great. We can look chic and stylish plus building a wardrobe advice is fantastic. Thanks.

Susan, If I remember correctly, you had done s video on what shoes to wear with different types of pants. I wanted to watch it again but now I cannot find it. Can you tell me where to find it or send me the link please? Thanks.

I haven’t done a video yet, but I have mentioned it on numerous blog posts. I always try to keep the hemline at the most narrow part of my ankle when I am wearing straight leg or skinny pants. (A couple of inches above the ankle bone usually.) Flare leg crop pants should also end at the most narrow part of the leg. Longer flare leg pants should almost cover your shoes. The hemline of your pants should never bunch or puddle on the top of your shoes. It is more current to show the ankle bones, rather than wear your pants to the top of the foot as we did when we were younger.

I will be attending a spring fashion show in May. It will be held at a country club here in So Cal. My core wardrobe is similar to yours (minus any dresses and skirts) but the black and navy seem so dark for this event. I am curious what you would wear, using your existing clothes, and appreciate any suggestions if you have time. Thank you.

I am sorry you have to close your shopping site. Even though I have only purchase 1 silk scarf and am about to buy another, I have so enjoyed seeing what you offer. Am I dreaming, or was there a video you made about how to wear your large 51″ scarves? If so, can you please direct me there.

Hi Ms. Susan can you please advise this old lady where to buy scarf, that’s not hundreds of dollars:) that’s just not possible for me not even in the wildest dreams. Thank you so much I’ enjoining EVERY video, story, pictures, I send you messages but because I’m technically challenged (nicely said) I have no idea where I send it to. First I saw when you start making jewelry with coin from Czech Republic and that got my attention because I’m from Prague. Thank you for sharing all your tips.

Hi Susan!
I have recent discovered you, and have really been enjoying learning form your articles!
I am a few years older than you, but I still want to dress well, being age appropriate.
Thank you for sharing your amazing life,so others may strive to overcome obstacles and move on too!

I need to vent some place. Why, oh why, did Express start putting pockets on their Portofino shirts? They’re a pain in the neck. I have to put a little Velcro on each pocket, or the pocket droops and causes a pucker. I’ve let Express know, but you have much more pull than I. Maybe we should all tell them. Their shirts were perfect, except now they’re not.

Susan,
I just found your videos on YouTube and love them. Do you have a video on a wardrobe capsule for a professional work environment? Love the small heels and sophisticated look. Very classy. I’m trying to build this style of wardrobe and need help. Appreciate you and look forward to watching many more videos.
Kim

I like reading all of your blogs. I really like your style and seem to be quite similar in taste. Best of all I LOVE YOUR SHOES But I’m 66 now and have had surgery on both my feet. I can not wear heels any longer. I need advice on looking good in comfortable flats

I just lost a bunch of weight. I am working on a capsule wardrobe and your u tube videos are very helpful. I just stumbled upon your u tube channel and subscribed. I am a 65 yr old foster mom to a severe needs kiddo. I still want to look nice when out and not a frump. Due to foot problems I can’t wear heels. Also when caring for my child not practical. Is there anyway to dress up an outfit without heels. I have wide feet as well as bunions . I want more of a minimal wardrobe with mix and match, dress up or down. My foot issues have always been an embarrassment. Is there hope ? I have very pretty silver/ white hair.

Bring the emphasis to your hair and your face. Wear shoes that are comfortable and supportive in the tone that is close to the color of your pants in winter and your legs in summer when you might be wearing crops or skirts, and dresses.

I am going to be eighty next month have not seen too many ideas for 80-year old I need some jeans but not sure which one I should go far can you help or give me a website for us older women not wanting to dress old.
Need some new ideas.
Thanks
Macy Faciane

Ms Susan can I purchase any of the clothing you wear ? I just love everything , this has truly given me a larger spectrum to look at .. My closet is full of things I can’t/don’t want to wear. I’m 5’7″ 145lbs grey hair and 70yoa . I need help !! I would appreciate any guidance you can spare ! Thanks in advance, Linda Stephens

Hi Linda, If you click on the blue words in my posts, you will be directed to the retailers that offer the same or similar items to what I am wearing in that post. I often wear things that are a few years old, so in those cases, I look for the items that are most similar to share with you.

I found your blog today by accident and hope that it will be the inspiration I need to get my act together and do what I’ve needed to do for a few years now. Retired for 18 months, I’m still carrying around 70 extra pounds that are dragging me down, both mentally and physically. I’ve always loved nice clothes and getting dressed for work each day. Getting up with nowhere to go has led to days of no makeup and wearing some of the most depressing clothes you’ve ever seen.
What do you wear every day? Do you put on your “full face”? Some days there doesn’t seem to be much point. I have more clothes than you can imagine from size 14 to 20 despite having cleared out a lot during our downsizing move in 2016. The one thing I am happy about is my hair after finding a new stylist a little over a year ago, but the rest of me is a disaster!
I am so excited to find this site and hope that I can use your advice to help me maintain my commitment to both dieting and identifying a core wardrobe that is appropriate for retirement which includes both travel and being at home here at the lake.

Welcome, Margo! I hope you enjoy what I share. My retirement wardrobe will include mostly classic basics that I can layer, interchange, and accessorize to achieve the look I want, without having to own a vast selection.

Susan,
I’m delighted I happened upon your blog site a couple weeks ago. I’ve gone back to your previous posts and am currently working my way through 2015. It’s been fun to see the areas around where you live — Asheville, etc. Such lovely countryside and special towns.

I especially appreciated a posting of your summer core wardrobe in 2015. I dress similarly to you; primarily pants, solids on the top, with a cardigan. I basically wear black, cobalt blue, reds, grey. Since I quit coloring my hair (it’s close to yours in shade) I can’t wear orange, green, yellows. Much easier to stick with cool shades which look best on me and easy to coordinate together.

Anyway, wondering if you have done an update summer core wardrobe plus winter for cooler temp weather. So very helpful.

Many thanks for your involvement and suggestions for keeping us 60+ ladies looking as spiffy as possible.

Thank you for all your wonderful fashion ideas. I have been getting your daily email and look forward each day to receiving them. Although I cannot afford the clothes you wear, the way you put them together gives me ideas and makes me feel more confident in the way I dress.

I am looking for a suggestion on what to wear for an October wedding. I do not wear skirts or dresses, and have not worn heels for quite a few years. I am going to be 70 next month, have let my hair go to it’s now natural color, (gray) am 5 foot 5, weight is approximately 125.. I would love to have your suggestions for this occasion. I have trouble putting things together and that is why I look forward to your daily emails, and tips. I live in Wisconsin and the weather can be quite unpredictable in October.

Hello Susan after 60 from Colette in Wigan U.K
I just wanted to say that I love your style and I have started following you on Pinterest but have now found your website.
I have just turned 59 a few weeks ago and think your ideas on dressing are great. Just been promoted at work to receptionist and am looking for style tips.
I especially like your Stylista bra/camisole and will be purchasing one on Amazon shortly.
So although I have a year to go before I hit the big 60 I will be pinching a few of your ideas! Thanks for the inspiration! Xx

Hi Susan,
I just want to say how much I enjoy your blog and your style!! I have been changing up look to be more sophisticated, using good solid colored clothing and mixing them with accessories such as bold jewelry and scarves. I have just added scarves lately so I have not bought any of yours. I am short and carry my weight in my upper body (read boobs) so I feel overwhelmed by too much scarf, but I have found some that are narrow and not as bulky and they can really class up an outfit as you have shown me! Over the years you have introduced me to soma, Clara Sun Woo and others. I have my eye on that leather jacket. Awesome and not too full of extra “stuff”!

Hi Susan. I have been following your posts for a few weeks and I love your tips, outfits, and ideas. I have a difficult time with style because I am short 5’3″ my body type is somewhat similar to yours as I am narrow in the hips and wider torso. Thank you for being so true to your best self. It inspires me. I’m trying some of your tips and I’m loving the results so far.

Do you have any suggestions for loungewear that doesn’t look like a robe and sleepwear? I want something comfy to wear while reading but appropriate to wear out the door when I let the dog out in NW Florida.

If you are building a wardrobe from the beginning, think first of color. Which colors do you look best in and enjoy wearing most? Do they go with each other? One neutral, one light color, and one dark color of each item will allow you to create endless looks. Start with a simple top with a flattering neckline, next look for a great pair of jeans that fits your shape, then buy a jacket that is basic enough to wear every day. You are on your way! Accessories are the key to making a few good pieces work for you in every situation.

Hi Susan,
I have been following your posts for awhile and enjoy your tips on fashion. Not too long ago you mentioned shapeeze and I believe a discount code which I can’t seem to find. If you could send it to me , I believe it is expiring soon,I would appreciate it.
Thank you.

I have been following you online for about 6 months and have found such inspiration! Like you I am retired and in my 60’s. I needed to purge the office outfits and go casual. Like you I avoid dresses and skirts save a select few for formal occasions. I now see how to “shop” my closet. I have become far more selective in choosing new items. Dressing is suddenly simple and yet elegant. My closet organized (and minimized) Packing for travel is simplified. Wahoo! I live in a small city in Canada. 51” scarves are hard to come by. I would treasure one should I be so lucky to add such a luxury to my closet. Keep up the positive and constructive online presence and have a very Merry Christmas.

Just wanted to say Susan again thank you for your wonderful blogs. I so look forward to what interesting and very useful tips, ideas, suggestions your put forth. I have a small dilemma though; I bought a decorated sweater from WHBM – an oatmeal color, rather boxy, comfy basic shape, but it has a fabulous sparkly smattering of added bling across the right shoulder. I’m having a difficult time dressing it down; I tried it on with ankle jeans denim color & it looks good but they showed it with little silver heels & that’s just not me! Any ideas as to what footwear? No little kitten heels round my world right now with snow rain & ice! Boots? I have a pair similar to your Mark Fishers in gray, but I don’t know, its not quite right. Just wanted to wear it casually but I’m not sure I can… it might not be the “great deal” I though I had even at 50% off! Hahaha, live and learn. Here’s to a healthy, peaceful and productive 2020! All the best to you & Mr. Mickey!

Hi Susan,
I really like your style. I’m of similar age and still professionally active meeting customers so always wanting to look my best.
I can easily gather those tops, jackets, accessories that work for my body type but am struggling with dress pants. I am 64 and 5’4″, over 250 with a square torso build.
The dress pants I have to look good when I wear kitten heels but now that I feel more comfortable wearing dress flats those same dress pants make me look squatty.
Noticing that I probably need to adjust to a slimmer leg, ankle dress pant with dress flats I would like to obtain your input on where the best place is to begin this
search for slim leg dress pants that would be flattering on me. I’m not concerned with the cost at all, just want to buy what looks the best on me for my body type.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Nancy Kane

A slimmer cut to the leg looks best when the hemline ends just above the anklebone. Showing the most slender part of the ankle when wearing pointed or almond toe flats or low heels is feminine and professional. When you wear a blazer this combination looks especially lovely.

Hi
I was following Susan after 60 but I unsubscribed for some reason. I am now trying to receive emails again but no matter how many times I put my email address in I don’t get the blog in my email. Any help would be appreciated

Tie the corners together. (Let top corner to left bottom corner and the same on the right side.) Slip the scarf over your shoulders and move the knots toward the back. I wore a fifty-one-inch scarf as a shrug here. These tips also work with smaller scarves.

Dear Susan. Your fashion sense is totally awesome! YOU ROCK the outfits you wear! Thank you so much for sharing tips, etc. You are beautiful and it shows! I love the way you put clothes together! I’m learning a lot from your blog.

I am only 4ft 11in which is really tough to dress to make me look taller! I try. I am petite with an athletic build. I’m 70 and still working out religiously at the gym! I walk my dog everything day. I’m fit but could lose 10 pounds if only I would eat as I should.

I love your channel. I just subscribed.
Stay tuned for my upcoming channel. I’ve been trying to upload my first video but have been unable to edit… my new channel is called Minimum Age. It’s about being younger. I’m 65. I hope you tune in.
By the way, loved your outfits in the video where you changed coats and shoes! I have one… I got everything at Goodwill! I hope you like it…

Susan, I always look forward to reading your fashion tips! I have a pandemic question for you: can you recommend a stylish face mask to wear?
Something that has a filter in it, for extra safety? There are so many choices online that I am getting confused. I would love to see what face mask
you would select to wear with your stylish clothes.

I do live in a Patio home, and I love the fact that there is so much less to maintain. I downsized from a five-bedroom three-story house about six years ago, and I sold my company (Vintage Jewelry Supplies Inc.) last year. The blog is my full-time job.

Hello Susan. I am a long time subscriber of yours. I received an email today purporting to be from you that I thought I should tell you about. I am sending it to you via these comments as I don’t know how else to contact you. The post is called Styling Elements. The email it is coming from is not your usual susanafter60.com. It is coming from vilinkdesign@gmail.com. This seems unusual to me. Can you please tell me, is this really you? My husband thinks your email list may have been hijacked. Or possibly something can be wrong on my end. Either way, I did not click on anything in the email. I wanted to let you know in case this isn’t really you and maybe others have received this email also. Thanks, Teresa Schultz

I apologize for the confusion. We were having some issues with people not receiving the newsletter, so my web designer used that email address to try to pinpoint the issue. Problem solved! Thank you for your patience.
